I thought so too. But looks like they are right. Below is an extract from
the generated Cobol code. The MID-UE is checked and called from the
400-PROCESS-TRAN routine that exists only for PR12.3 and PR12.4.
Looks like non-standard coding.

I think Erika got her posts crossed.
We are a unix shop.

The cobol animator is awful and it's never worked right since we went to
9.0.x. I usually just put in display statements.
The only command in my UE is a display and it's not working.
Lawson mentioned something about the base PR12 code would need to do a
400-PROCESS-TRAN paragraph for a user exit to get called.
But I thought all online programs check for user exits. (!)

Are you on Unix/Windows ? If you use cobanim, you can step thru the code
to
see if the UE is called or not.

Is there some type of magic for getting a user exit to work in PR12.
I'm trying to put a middle-ue in place that will catch a change to the
default direct deposit account so that I can trigger a flow that will go
update the employee's vendor record in AP10.
The UE doesn't even appear to be called when I inquire, add or change on
PR12.

Anybody done anything like that?

TIA,
